Interview with B. H. Roberts author, John Sillito
Manage episode 356111933 series 3450311
In Episode 1, historian and archivist John Sillito discusses his new book, B. H. Roberts: A Life in the Public Arena, published by Signature Books. We talk about Roberts’s life as a young Mormon convert, born in England and raised in Utah, and what led to his becoming perhaps the most prominent intellectual in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Roberts was active in both church service as a general authority, and as a politician. He is also one of the most prolific writers ever to come out of the church.
Sillito’s work is the first major biography of Roberts in over forty years and will surely stand as the definitive story of Roberts’s life for decades to come. Who was B. H. Roberts? Find out here. And buy the book, which is available for $34.95 in a beautiful hardback edition, and $9.99 as an ebook.
